When The Painter asks The Girl to spend the night, The Girl takes her to the hotel where she lives. They make love but The Girl lets her know "it's just one night." The Girl and The Painter continue seeing each other after her art classes or late at night. However, they each carry on other relationships: The Girl continues to see men and The Painter continues to see her long-time lover, Bu Savé.

A suspicious-looking Man, who seems to know The Girl, appears in the club. At first, The Painter watches The Man from a distance but later begins to follow him.
